Babbage is a fully integrated extension to CA Harvest Software Change Manager Workbench which
adds the ability to compare the structure of individual project lifecycles.
Lifecycles can be compared with one another, or with templates. For
enterprises with multiple brokers, lifecycles can also be compared across
brokers.

Users of Harvest will be well aware of the difficulties of managing changes
to the lifecycles defined within the tool. Babbage is designed to make the
lives of Harvest Administrators much simpler by quickly highlighting those
differences.

Uses include:

Determining which lifecycle template was used to create a project

Helping keep projects in sync with the templates from which they were created

Enabling access control changes to be detected

Finding processes which short-circuit the development process

Babbage is named after Charles Babbage, 1791-1871, inventor of the
Difference Engine.
